Lightweight performance

Clydesdale

When every pound fights bridge law but abrasion resistance cannot slip, Clydesdale packages Continental pedigree into a lightweight drum and pedestal platform focused on legal payload—not gimmicks.

Muscle meets margins

Continental’s lightweight program uses specially formulated high-strength mixer steel that trims roughly 2,000 lb versus comparably specified conventional steel barrels—opening space for admix payloads, ancillary equipment, or margin on tough weigh stations.

Pair those savings with optional ZF gearboxes integrating the hydraulic pump inside the transmission case and Continental’s proven charging architecture for fleets that live on spreadsheets as much as pour schedules.
